kickoff is almost here! ewu went 8-0 on the red rug last yr. this yr they are 0-1.

standard.net:
Eastern Washington is 0-4 for the first time since 1983 and received the latest in a spate of bad breaks Tuesday with the loss of senior linebacker and co-captain Zach Johnson, a third-team preseason All-American.

Eastern is the first defending national FCS champ to start 0-4 since 1984 and has to be perfect the rest of the way to reach the seven wins required to return to the playoffs.

"It makes them real dangerous," Weber State quarterback Mike Hoke said. "You know they're going to do everything possible to win because they have to win out to get to seven wins. It should be a real tough battle for both teams.

Weber State is 11th in the country in total offense and 14th in total scoring coming off two blowout wins over Sacramento State and UNC.

WSU has been better at taking care of the ball this season, with its turnover margin at 1.25, first in the league and 17th in the FCS.


Senior linebacker Mo Neal promises the Wildcats won't underestimate Eastern because of its record.

"No matter what anyone says, Eastern Washington is still the champion right now," Neal said. "A lot of the reason why they're 0-4 is not because they're not good, it's because they've had a lot of injuries. They're far from being a bad team -- they're still a top team."
 
* WSU NOTES: Today marks McBride's 50th Big Sky game as WSU's head coach. McBride enters the EWU contest with a league record of 31-18 and is 40-34 overall in seven seasons. ... Junior defensive tackle Ryan Eastman (elbow) and senior tight end Brian Jankowski (ankle) did not travel to Cheney. Sophomore cornerback Robbie Diamond (elbow) also will not play. Center Tyson Tiatia (bone bruise to leg) is expected to play today but may be limited. Sophomore linebacker Anthony Morales (groin strain) is also expected to play.
 
I am glad this game is on Altitude, I am ready, got my sunscreen and sunglasses bring on the red turf.

Go Wildcats!
 
sl trib:
"I’d like to be consistent throughout the game," McBride said. "We’re still trying to find out who we are."

Overall, Hoke has 11 scoring passes without an interception.

"He’s been in the system for three years," McBride said. "He’s not a gunslinger. He knows where people are, he knows where the blitz is coming from. He knows football. He is a mentally sound guy."
 
So I'm watching the game on big sky tv and also watching the Montana game on pip and I laughed when the grizzly crashed on his motorcycle during pregame. haha

Couple interesting notes about the game today: WSU is the best team in the sky in turnovers (+5). EWU is dead last (-6). Also the strengths and weaknesses of each team also seem favor the Wildcats.
 
i hope the team makes a big adjustment for the 2nd half. bo levi stats look like he is playing unc - 13-16, 209 yds, 3 TD.
